    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    What's the force efficiency (in both input wattage and weight) of this vs a brushless DC motor?

    Yeah, I have to imagine that US-based people in that game get enough clearance to get some really good answers about why it failed.

    This comparison is a bit retarded, but from what I can tell they can read the fourth line on a Vive, and the eighth line on a Vive pro.

    Yep, they should be able to upscale for good results. Until they get good foveated rendering we won't get a crisp looking VR system that can run on current hardware. Maybe we'll just wait till Moore's Law drags hardware quality up to 3x as much power as we have now.

    I doubt it's bullshit. It probably wouldn't fool anyone who cared. From what I've heard NGC built all the systems that failed (the satellite + the thing that was supposed to release the satellite). Blaming SpaceX gets more clicks than Northrop Grumman though, so I'm sure the media will blame...

    Disney needs to trash can TLJ and do a mulligan with Hamill helping write a new script.

    I agree. I'd be surprised if anything big comes out 2018, but it's possible. To me the big question is whether gen2 has foveated rendering, which is a huge enabler of VR.

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Also, I think as a society we'll start to value success in online gaming with more equity to offline success, for better or worse. At some level, what is the difference between someone climbing a mountain and hitting max level in a game? The person who climbs a mountain just comes down and is...

    I played a hacked together VR experience in Skyrim a year or two ago with VorpX, my two big problems with it were 1: first person melee combat with VR was pretty awkward since it felt like I was hugging the mobs. 2. In VR everything looks low resolution, even at the highest resolution. How do...

    This sums up how I feel. This movie isn't even worth pondering how many levels it's shitty. It's not even worth looking up videos of people who spend a lot of effort trashing it because it's like pointing out the turds in the bottom of a never-emptied outhouse. Actually, what I'd really...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Problem: The team that made TLJ can't do anything but make a pile of shit. The handling of Luke is just a red herring. Everything about the movie sucked, but people have emotional attachment to Luke. If they handled Luke perfectly, or didn't have his shadow cast on it the movie would still suck.

    I found this answer poignant @23m0s Look at how Mark Hamill throws his hands up and recoils. He knows this movie fucking sucks. I think by the time they showed what Luke was going to do I already gave zero fucks about the movie. I got a glimmer of hope of something cool happening when Luke...

    I kind of agree. The response to this for the last few years is that you'll be able to earn whatever whales buy, but I think the persistent universe is live for reals and you can start earning credits instead of p2wing them, CIG is going to have to choose to keep their whale-based revenue...

    So I guess the new difficulty mode is ball-busting hard. Only thing I don't like about what I'm hearing is the orcs have too much health, which got to be a little annoying even on Nemesis. Some orcs owuld just be health-sponges and become immune to everything you throw at them. Ex: something...
